This early-phase trial tested whether a nutritional supplement called Impact Advanced Recovery® could help men recover better after bladder cancer surgery. Thirty men took the drink before and after their operation. The goal was to see if it reduced surgical complications, infections, and hospital readmissions.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Impact Advanced Recovery® (a nutritional supplement drink)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a simple way to help patients recover faster and with fewer complications after bladder cancer surgery.
What could go wrong: This is a very early, small trial with only 30 men, so results may not apply to everyone. The supplement may not reduce complications or infections.
